Jason Stein’s Gift

NOTE Nov 22-> If you came here looking for Yollana Shore’s video, I sent out the wrong link. Here’s the right link to see her video. I think I made the mistake because I’m kinda full up emotionally and I’ll be telling you about it in the next days. I was so chagrined because it […]

How Are You With This Critical Business Skill?

How do you do with receiving criticism, negative feedback, news that something isn’t working, or someone telling you they don’t like something you’ve done? No one likes to hear these things. But if you run a business, you need to hear this kind of feedback with an open heart and mind. The trouble is that […]

Choice Versus Guidance in Business

There seem to be two camps in the world of doing your own thang and being self-employed. One camp, which has overall tendencies for being less woo-woo, proclaims you are powerful, can make powerful choices, shouldn’t follow the herd, need to be an individual.

4:30 a.m. push

Today, Friday October 29, is the final day in a two-week “push.” I recently watched a very moving video of Scott Stratten‘s talk “Keep Going Until We Stop.” It’s very moving and a fantastic commentary on what in the heck is so painful about our culture. You can see the video here: His talk touched […]

Why Can Masterful Practitioners Be Found Struggling to Fill Their Schedules?

I’ve been holding office hours for our 2010 Opening the Moneyflow course participants recently to individually discuss what’s going on in their businesses. Predictably, there is a lot of ground to cover on these calls. The topic of creating a promotional campaign to sell an offer popped up a few times. The Moneyflow participants are […]

Moneyflow 2011 and Instructional Design

As my friends Michele and Jen over at TeachNow are digging into, teaching is more than just dumping out your knowledge and experience on people.

More on Letting Go and Moving Forward in Business

We were having dinner recently with friends who also have twins our boys’ age. After dinner, the four toddlers were creating havoc away from the kitchen so it was my chance to get the dishes into the dishwasher without them using it as a jungle gym. The father of the other twins is a project […]
